Might be worth mentioning that ON COMMIT DELETE is implemented as truncating
tables. If we actually implemented it as deleting rows, it'd not at all be
correct to reset relfrozenxmin.

I'd do that in a separate patch.

Hm. Is RecentXmin guaranteed to be valid at this point?

Ugh. That's pretty expensive for something now done at a much higher rate than
before.
